During a press conference for the movie "Shake, Rattle and Roll: Evil Origins," the stars, collectively known as FranSeth, regaled the showbiz media with fascinating tales woven with intrigue and mystery, recounting encounters and unexplained phenomena that seemed to leap from the pages of a fantasy novel.
"Simula po noong bata pa ay naka-dikit na sa akin ang horror na word. Ngayon wala naman pero noong bata ako meron isang incident na akala ko ang kausap ko ay kapatid ko pero hindi naman pala. Tapos lagi kaming nauusog at tinatawas. Mga ganyang klaseng horror stories. (Ever since I was a child, the word horror has stuck with me. Now it doesn't, but when I was a child, there was an incident where I thought the person I was talking to was my brother, but it turned out he wasn't. Then we were always teased and laughed at. Those kinds of horror stories)," said Francine, when asked about her encounters with the supernaturals.
Seth remembered the chill that would creep down his spine in his childhood, every time he heard tales of invisible people lurking just beyond the edges of his vision.
"Umakyat ako ng puno at nalaglag ako. Ilang din akong hindi okay. Ang tagal gumaling ng sugat ko. Nilagnat ako at tinawas ako. Natakot ako kasi meron daw akong taong hindi nakikita na tinamaan tapos pumorma pa sa kandila. Tapos parang duwende yung hugis ng ilong.Yung multo naman wala pa naman pero mahilig talaga akong mag-prank. (I climbed a tree and fell. I wasn't OK for a while. It took a long time for my wound to heal. I had a fever and was dizzy. I was scared because they said I hit an invisible person. Then a faith healer saw the ghost by using a candle. The nose (of the ghost) looked like a goblin's. As for the ghost, I don't have one yet, but I really like to prank)," Seth said.
Seth also said that he and Francine would be busy again during the holidays as they promote "SRR."
"The whole holidays mukhang nasa labas uli kami this year. Sa bahay lang talaga kami at nanonood sila ng live feed ng filmfest. Mahaba pa ang lalakbayin ko. Wala pa ako sa kalahati. Kung ano man yung nakuha ko ngayon, salamat per mahaba pa yung daan. (The entire holidays seem like we're out again this year. Last year, my family watched the live feed of the film festival. I still have a long way to go. I'm not even halfway there yet. Whatever I got today, thank you, but there's still a long way to go)," the young male actor said.
Last year, FranSeth teamed up on the hit MMFF fantasy film "My Future You," where Seth also won the Breakthrough Performance Award during the Gabi ng Parangal.
Francine said she would celebrate the holidays with her family. "Basta pag new year and Christmas, sine-celebrate namin ito with the family. May mga handa sa table pero simple lang po talaga kami. Ma gifty-giving din kami. (When we celebrate New Year and Christmas with the family, there are prepared meals on the table, but we keep it simple. We are also gift-giving.)"
Produced by Regal Entertainment, "Shake, Rattle and Roll: Evil Origins" is now showing in cinemas. It is one of the official entries to the 51st Metro Manila Film Festival.
